Aaron Judge, while on his home run smashing spree, is being repeatedly walked from the other end. He took seven games after 60 to smash his 61st home run. Similarly, now, it’s been four games since he hit number 61. Balanced against that, there is no near sight of his next homer.

Fortunately and unfortunately, his home run drought during his home run frenzy season has barely anything to do with his performances. In fact, it has nothing to do with his performance. Since his 60th homer on September 20th, only 25% of the pitches thrown to the 30-year-old outfielder have been in the strike zone. Moreover, the opponents have walked the big man 18 times in his last 49 appearances.
What bold claim did the Texas Rangers’ manager make about Aaron Judge?
Amidst this, after the Texas Rangers also walked Judge, their manager, Tony Beasley, reaches the media with a big and bold claim. However, how truly will the Rangers’ roster follow this claim? Would they really want to be written on the other side of history against Aaron Judge’s name?

Notably, Tony Beasley said, “We don’t have a plan to do this (raises 4 fingers) to Aaron Judge all series.” This statement indicates that Judge will start receiving pitches in the strike zone henceforth.
Angry Yankee fans haven’t received the walking well. Palpable from the bleacher boos. Consequently, a statement like this from the Texas Ranger manager sat well with the Pinstripes. And this is how the fans reacted to this bold claim of Tony Beasley.
Respect, Tony Beasley https://t.co/ualG5KX7gL

Texas Rangers manager, Tony Beasley reportedly plans to have his pitchers attack the zone vs Aaron Judge this series. Can’t tell you how much newfound respect I have for this man, assuming he follows through. #RepBX #AllRise #StraightUpTX pic.twitter.com/eji9hTlXsh

What I don't understand is why teams didn't do this back when the games counted. It wasn't until Judge was at 59 and the AL postseason mostly wrapped up that opposing teams got scared https://t.co/K9jM6r7TJK

Yankees fans continue to a big whibe fest over how Judge is pitched and have no clue how baseball works https://t.co/j2vusMtvZl

The seven scoreless innings thrown by Luis Severino helped the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 3-1 at their home in the Globe Life Field.
Yankees in the 2022 World Series
After a long 2022 season, the Pinstripes will begin their ultimate postseason journey on the 11th of October, after a five-day break. While Aaron Judge is being walked left, right and center in the residual regular season, the story will change as the postseason begins given the increased value of every run.
13 years ago, in 2009, the New York Yankees managed to reach the World Series, and even conquer it. Since then, while the Yanks have made multiple playoff appearances, a World Series appearance, and by extension, victory is still pending.
